Ch 321: Qin Huairu 7
Lin Lang felt that a man like Xu Damao was not worthy of Lou Xiao’e at all, so she deliberately used some tricks behind the scenes to prevent the two from meeting. However, Xu Damao still got married, marrying a shrewish woman.
Across the courtyard, Old Madam Jia’s son also got married, still to a girl from the countryside, but her belly was promising. In the first year of her marriage, she gave birth to a son, completely gaining a foothold in this family. Later, she won over her husband’s heart and, through her husband’s connections, found a job in the factory.
Old Madam Jia was naturally unconvinced and often quarreled with her son, but gradually she drove her son away as well. Plus, Old Madam Jia was getting old, and for the sake of her grandson, she didn’t pick on her daughter-in-law anymore. On the contrary, she even helped her daughter-in-law with some housework.
Although Lin Lang didn’t know if the events in the original story would still happen, since she was in the factory, she emphasized safety. So, although nothing major happened to the Jia family later, there was still a safety accident, with a hand fracture, but at least she saved her life.
The couple also had a good reputation among the people in the courtyard. After Lin Lang gave birth to her Eldest, she gave birth to her Second in the third year, both naughty boys. It wasn’t until the eighth year that a daughter finally arrived.
Lin Lang didn’t plan to have any more children after that. Many things had happened in recent years, and there was famine everywhere. Many people were so hungry that they couldn’t afford to eat. Fortunately, her own family was doing quite well. Her two older brothers had jobs in the City, and although her parents lived in the Countryside, they didn’t have to struggle for a living, and their lives were much better.
Both husband and wife had jobs, and the family didn’t lack food or drink at all. Their two children were fair and chubby, in stark contrast to the Jia family’s children across the courtyard. Perhaps this was the benefit of marrying a cook.
Lin Lang felt a little dazed. After finishing the task, she sat in her room in a daze, not carrying out the next task until two or three days later when she finally came back to her senses.
Lin Lang hesitated for a long time and still went to Sister Wang and told her about the distress in her heart.
“I feel like I am me, but I also feel like I am someone else. That feeling is very dazed. It feels like I’m clearly alive, but it’s no different from being dead… I don’t want to live this kind of life anymore. I want to live a down-to-earth life…”
Sister Wang looked into Lin Lang’s eyes and sighed heavily, “I used to be dazed when I did tasks. Clearly, I was me, but every time I looked in the mirror, I found that I seemed to be looking at someone else. That feeling was very strange, so strange that I didn’t even recognize myself, and I almost lost myself.
But are you really willing to give up your current life? You need to know that your task is not completed. If you give up your current life, it’s equivalent to you becoming an ordinary person.
From then on, you will experience birth, old age, sickness, and death, completely becoming an ordinary person. But if you continue to do tasks, you can enjoy a different life and live more freely.”
“I… I understand what you mean, but I’ve lived enough…” Lin Lang didn’t understand why she had this feeling, but she just felt particularly annoyed, as if she couldn’t muster interest in anything in the world. She felt like she was sick, so she needed to find a doctor for herself.
Sister Wang sighed heavily, “Okay, I respect your choice. You can hand over the things you have on hand to someone else, and then reincarnate and be a human again. I just hope you don’t regret it.”
Lin Lang showed a satisfied smile. She naturally wouldn’t regret it. She stood up, feeling relieved, as if she had regained a new life.
After the person left, Sister Wang revealed a different expression, “How many people is this? Why is it always like this? Clearly, the task is going well, but they insist on becoming an ordinary person. Really, how many times has this happened… Alright, observe her carefully. I feel like she’s doing a pretty good job with the tasks. After she reincarnates, erase all her memories and let her completely become an ordinary person… Finally…”
◈◈◈
“As long as they are people, they will have many troubles, and accidents will always happen for various reasons. When that time comes, we’ll step in again… This world is big, but this world is also very small. We will always meet again…”
Lin Lang didn’t know about this. She had many things to prepare, first of all, those treasures she had worked so hard to obtain by doing tasks, and those things in her Space, all of which she had painstakingly accumulated. It’s just a pity that these things can only be used in the current space-time, and they can’t be used in other space-times at all, so she can’t take them away at all.
Lin Lang said self-deprecatingly: “This can be considered as returning to the pre-liberation era in one morning. I just don’t know if the decision I made is right or wrong, but I really don’t want to live under someone else’s skin. I want to be the real me.”
In the past, Lin Lang always felt that doing tasks was very simple, just like making a movie. After performing, she would return to real life and live her own life, but real life is not like this.
After you watch a movie, you will also be infected by the characters in the movie, not to mention personally experiencing those things. So she always unconsciously gets influenced by others. She always carries other people’s emotions when doing tasks. She has no way to better carry out the task. Although she never says anything, she feels so painful.
Lin Lang doesn’t know how other colleagues restrain this pain, but she feels that she really can’t continue doing it, especially when doing the last task, she feels like a robot living in someone else’s setting.
“I only hope that I am me and don’t have to worry about something, and don’t have to do tasks for a certain task, thus ignoring all the things around me. I just want to live like an ordinary person.”
Lin Lang really just wanted to live an ordinary life. Even if she lost everything she had, she wouldn’t feel regretful. At worst, she would have nothing. Anyway, she didn’t have anything in the first place. Now she’s just returning to simplicity.
Everything that happened to her in the past now feels like a dream. At that time, she felt unwilling, but now she thinks, what’s there to be unwilling about?
There are good and bad people, successful and unsuccessful people. She is just a failure, but it doesn’t mean that she will always fail. She only hopes that her next life will be brighter.
Lin Lang looked at the sunshine outside and showed a satisfied smile, “I only hope that the sunshine in the future will be as beautiful as it is now, and I hope that my life in the future will be as bright as it is today.”
Alas, it’s about to end. If you want to scold me, then scold me. I really can’t write anymore. My head hurts so much.
END
